Establish peace, goodness, blessing, graciousness, kindness, and compassion upon us and upon all of Your people Israel. Bless us, our Father, all of us as one, with the light of Your countenance, for with the light of Your countenance You gave us, Hashem, our G-d, the Torah of life and a love of kindness, righteousness, blessing, compassion, life, and peace. And may it be good in Your eyes to bless Your people Israel, in every season and in every hour with Your peace.
Blessed are You, Hashem, Who blesses His people Israel with peace.

Hebrew Transliteration:

"Sim shalom, tova, uv'racha, chen, vachesed v'rachamim aleinu v'al kol Yisra'el amecha. Bar'cheinu avinu, kulanu k'echad b'or panecha, ki v'or panecha nasata lanu, Ado-nai Elo-heinu, Toras chayim v'ahavas chesed, u'tzedaka, uv'racha, v'rachamim, v'chayim, v'shalom. V'tove b'einecha l'varech es amecha Yisra'el, be'chole es u'vechole sha'a bish'lomecha.
Baruch Ata Ado-nai, hamevarech es amo Yisra'el bashalom."

Wow, Lipa Schmeltzer played in a hotel in my home-town of Stamford, CT. this year for Pesach...

And here is the Schmeltzer in Hevron, playing before the Cave of the Patriarchs...

I am reminded of one of my favorite Shabbat songs, "Kol HaOlam Kulo"...

Rabbi Nachman said:

"The whole world is a narrow bridge, but the main thing is not to fear, not to fear at all"

http://www.aish.com/sh/s/48969621.html

Quote

There is a familiar teaching from Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, which is familiar to us as it is paraphrased within the popular song “Kol HaOlam Kulo…”

The actual teaching from Likutei MohaRan reads as follows:

“Veda SheAdam Tzarich Laavor al gesher tzar meod, meod, vehaklal vehaikar shelo lehitpacheid klal…”

“And know that a person needs to traverse a very, very narrow bridge, but the fundamental and most important principle is to have no hesitation or fear at all…”

Why does Rebbe Nachman use the analogy of a very narrow bridge? What is the difference between a very narrow bridge and a super highway?

On a super highway if the car in front of you is driving 20 miles below the speed limit, or is blaring some really annoying country music, or is swerving back and forth in a frustrating fashionwell on a super highway, where there are multiple lanes, you can switch lanes and blow right by the troublesome car. But on a narrow bridge, you need to engage, and confront challenging situations and individuals.

What Rebbe Nachman is teaching us is that in life it is inevitable that we are going to encounter challenging situations and individuals with different points of view, different backgrounds, and values that may be completely in conflict with our own moral compass. Rebbe Nachman is teaching us don't be afraid or hesitate to engage such individuals, in fact quite the contrary embrace such situations as opportunities to share and learn from one another, and traverse that “narrow bridge” together.

From Matisyahu's Brand-Spanking-New album 'Spark Seeker' , which is released this week, is his new tune "Baal Shem Tov"...

"Fire of Freedom":

I must say that I am a bit disappointed at Matisyahu.... In his rebellion against Judaism he has shed all outward signs of his faith. Not only no peyot and beard, but no Kippah or Tzit-Tzits.... I feel bad for his family to witness such blatant use of our religion in order to become famous and sell-out to pop imagery. Some of the songs on the new album are OK but some are not... I just hope that ONE DAY he comes back and does Teshuva for his rebellion.

I really like these new songs, expecially the first two! What do you mean by, his rebellion against Judiaism?

Ok, so the next video has nothing to do with Judaism, it is an awesome song... It is 'The Music Never Stopped' by the Grateful Dead... Here is a performance from 1994...

There's mosquitoes on the river.
Fish are rising up like birds.
It's been hot for seven weeks now,
Too hot to even speak now.
Did you hear what I just heard?

Say, it might have been a fiddle,
Or it could have been the wind.
But there seems to be a beat, now.
I can feel it in my feet, now.
Listen, here it comes again!

There's a band out on the highway.
They're high-steppin' into town.
They're a rainbow full of sound.
It's fireworks, calliopes and clowns --

Everybody's dancing.
Come on, children. Come on, children,
Come on clap your hands.

Sun went down in honey.
Moon came up in wine.
Stars were spinnin' dizzy,
Lord, the band kept us so busy
We forgot about the time.

They're a band beyond description
Like Hashem's favorite choir.
People joinin' hand in hand
While the music plays the band.
Lord, they're setting us on fire.

Crazy rooster crowin' midnight.
Balls of lightning roll along.
Old men sing about their dreams.
Women laugh and children scream,
And the band keeps playin' on.

Keep on dancin' through to daylight.
Greet the morning air with song.
No one's noticed, but the band's all packed and gone.
Was it ever here at all?

But they keep on dancing.
C'mon, children. C'mon, children,
Come on clap your hands.

Well, the cool breeze came on Tuesday,
And the corn's a bumper crop.
The fields are full of dancing,
Full of singing and romancing,
'Cause the music never stopped.

And a version from 1984:

Ok, now back to Jewish music....

Found this celebration of the completion of the Talmud Daf Yomi cycle...
